Budget & Grant Fiscal
The Budget & Grant Fiscal Team provides essential support and oversight to ensure school districts across the state manage funds responsibly and in full compliance with state and federal regulations. Our team focuses on fiscal monitoring, accountability, training, and providing resources for districts to implement best practices for grant management.
We partner with Local Education Agencies on Child Nutrition, Federal Title Programs, Special Education, state funded grants (such as the Idaho Career Ready Students Fund and Transportation reimbursements), professional development and training through the Grants Communities of Practice and ensure appropriate use of both federal and state funding to enhance educational opportunities for Idaho’s students.
